A manpage saying "this program does what you want", with no suggestion of
what it's going to guess you might want, is useless.

I'm sure whoever wrote this tool found it neat and clever, but it's just a
waste of user (my) time, as I re-read the manpage several times, trying to
find where it explains the program, before I realized that it simply doesn't.
